If you don't like heat, don't move to the deep south. It is much hotter in places away from the coast, such as were I live in North Louisiana, as opposed to being on the coast. Florida is much more tolerable than here. I have been saying for years that I must leave here in the summer and it continues to worsen... getting hotter each year. Global warming sure seems real here! High humidity and temps over 100 degrees is not fun. I hate it and I've been here all my life.

You might consider areas in the mountains of Tennessee or North Carolina. That is an area that appeals to me. Cooler and plenty of people in reasonable driving distance.
